Konsep Desain Rumah Sederhana Berkelanjutan Sebagai Pengembangan Penerapan Arsitektur Hijau Di Desa Klambir Lima

Abstract

The development of settlements in rural areas often does not pay attention to environmental sustainability aspects, even though the potential for implementing green architecture in simple houses is enormous. This study aims to analyze the performance and formulate a sustainable simple house design concept that suits the characteristics of the humid tropical climate and the socio-economic conditions of the community of Klambir Lima Village, Deli Serdang Regency. The research method uses a descriptive-qualitative approach supported by building performance analysis through field observations, interviews, and physical measurements of the environment such as temperature, humidity, natural lighting, and air circulation. The results show that the application of passive design principles — including north-south building orientation, natural cross-ventilation, local materials with low heat absorption, and yard vegetation — can reduce room temperatures by approximately 2.5°C and increase energy efficiency by 25–30%. A water conservation system through a simple infiltration well with a layer of coral stone and sand, as well as a yard garden with local plants such as bananas and coconuts, also plays a role in maintaining microclimate humidity. The overall results produce a sustainable simple house design model that emphasizes energy efficiency, water conservation, interior comfort, and the integration of local socio-cultural values ​​as an effort to implement green architecture in rural areas.
